Packers Fans

[CWR]

It appears they are giving us more credit than we deserve.

I dont know how anyone could expect less than a complete thrashing.

 

[Rayman70]

a get right game. They are right.

 

[jazzcat22]

GB has every right to be confident they can give us a whipping, or at least get out of the Death Star with a win, and a comfortable win, even if only by 10 points.

Death Star ... that means Cowboys Death ...

GB's loss last week to the Browns does not mean a thing coming into this game. Games like that happen. And the Browns do have a decent defense.

What I seen of GB so far this year, their fans can be confident of wins. Dallas fans, not so much. Even before the injuries and Micah trade.

Cleveland has the best D in football. We have the worst. Love will throw for 5 TD’s folks

First, in the early 70s, there was the 8mm and 16mm film reels, playing them on home movie projectors. Then came the Sony Betamax (which was a cassette format) which was a major competitor to VHS, released in 1975. While it had some advantages, it ultimately lost the "format war" to VHS due to factors like lower cost and longer recording times.

Other formats, like the U-Matic and other early cassette-based systems such as Cartrivision and Betamax, were available for home video recording but were expensive and less popular than VHS.

JVC's VHS format, released in 1976, became popular because it offered longer recording times and was more affordable for consumers. VHS also benefited from the development of the home video rental market, which was a significant factor in its market dominance. VHS dominated for exactly 20 years until the introduction of the DVD player in Japan in 1996 and the USA in 1997. The rest is history.

Thanks for the cool info about that part of tech history.

But I have a probably stupid question, did people even "tape" tv broadcasts back in the 70s at all? Or was it all just filmed home movies? I guess VHS was still pretty expensive back then?

After that it's back to topic

Funny we are talking about such old school video tape recordings, because I still have an old school 1998 70" first Pioneer DLP cathode-ray tube rear-projection big screen TV in storage that still works pretty good. Last time I used it was back in 2014, but I've covered it up well and placed it in storage since. I took it out 2 years ago, plugged it in and realized it still works well. Several of my cousins offered to buy it from me for their game room, but I'm going to keep it in case I make it past this cancer and build myself my own game room Cowboys-themed man cave.

Sorry to hear about your illness, been there so know it’s a tough road but you will beat it and have that cave. Prayer for your recovery.

As a veteran of the Cowboys-Packers fans wars of the 1990s, it pains me to read the awful truth from Packers fans now. Nothing has put our situation in perspective for me more than reading their thoughts about us now. We used to beat their cheese heads every time we faced them. Not they are almost embarrassed to have to play us.

And Jerry thinks this team is better suited to win in the playoffs now. The situation is dire.

My first thread post.. so be gentle if I stuff up.. lol

Here is some stuff Packers fans are saying about the game...
--------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully a good get-right game for us. The Cowboys have a decent running game, but if we can keep that contained...their defense is SHOCKING.
Second-worst in the league behind only Miami. They have allowed 92 points in three games - 4th most in franchise history. Opponents are averaging 288 pass yards per game and overall allowing 6.5 yards *per play*. They've given up 5 TD passes of 25+ yards - through three games, they have allowed the most completions and/or pass TDs of 25+ yards in 45 years.

Against the Bears, they did not manage a single sack and were credited with only one pressure on defense. Overall they have averaged one sack per game, and opposing offenses are converting 54% of 3rd downs.

And of course, the Cowboys DC is Matt Eberflus, who...suffice to say we are familiar with.

Our defense has been lights out, but IMO we've yet to put together a total dominant showing on offense, I'm hoping this is our chance. Any given Sunday and all that but let's hope for some fireworks.
-------------------------------------------------------
I think the Packers are going to destroy the Cowboys. Very lopsided game.
38-24, but with Dak racking up some garbage time yards and points.
------------------------------------------------------
They are really beat up. CeeDee Lamb is out with a high ankle sprain.
As long as we don't screw up like we did in Cleveland we should win this one.
------------------------------------------------------
One place the Boys are strong is in the FG department. Aubrey is usually lights out especially indoors. He could be the player of the game. If our D does give them trouble their goal will be to win the field position battle. Cross midfield and let Aubrey launch one.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nonetheless, if GB does not angrily trash Dallas on Sunday in a big way, I'm going to be disappointed.
-------------------------------------------------------
And of course, the Cowboys DC is Matt Eberflus..Good lord, Jerruh... what on Earth were you thinking???
-------------------------------------------------------
Poor Dallas fans... they're probably feeling the same way about their team right now as we were all feeling in the late 70s and Awful 80s. Is there any sort of 25th Amendment or impeachment clause in the NFL by-laws?
-------------------------------------------------------
No CeeDee Lamb for the Cowboys. Two offensive line starters to miss the game for them also. A poor defense. A Packer team coming off an unexpected loss.
This ought to add up to a Packer victory, maybe even in convincing fashion.
------------------------------------------------------
Their defense has been giving up a lot of points, and I'm sure they have enough pride (and prodding from Jerrah) to want to show the world they don't suck without Micah.
That said, GB has not lost in Jerryworld, and they absolutely should have hot piss after the Lake Erie fiasco. This feels like it will be close for about a half and then GB pulls away.
Unlike CLE, I don't know what DAL does well that they can hang their hat on.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Packers should be pissed at their performance in Clevland. They need to take it out on Dallas. The Bears pounded them, so no excuse for the Packers to not flatten them.
----------------------------------------------------
If any good comes out of Sunday’s humiliating disaster, it is a convincing win against the hated cowboys.
If Love doesn’t want to get labeled as the new Dak he better get his **** in gear.
----------------------------------------------------
Lamb out, Parsons returns to D-town, Cowboys secondary allowing about of yards. Packers continue to be America’s real team.
----------------------------------------------------

This should be an every week thing.

“What our opponents fans are saying about this us”

Good post, bro!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Hey Dak fans,

This is how Dak is talked about outside of the CZ bubble.

 

[JW82]

I'd argue, there is no way Miami's D is worse! In your face Green Bay!!

Prayers for you to beat cancer and have a longer life.

...and hope that old VCR won't break down anytime soon so we can still rewatch our tapes from the 90s.

(Yes I know by oldtimers I guess you meant the 70s, but did they even have vcrs back then? And I'm also feeling like an old-timer lol).

Which reminds me, I really have to digitalize my tapes once and for all. The way it looks I'll never witness something like the 90s again as a Cowboys fan. And I probably have around 40 more years on this earth. Thanks Jerry and son.

On our old, dearly departed board (RIP!) we had a fella that would make highlight vids every week. I'm looking for themright now,hangon a sec.

I found the vids but still can;t remember his name. Nice way to capture the games.

I know I have at least a tape of 90's super bowl. I think my wife threw out the player.


I have a box of recorded movies I just can;t part with. I'll find a player at the pawnshop.

 

[Fmart322]

I'm surprised they were that negative. The Packers are going to embarrass the Cowboys Sunday night.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Cowboys are trash, they should be excited

 

[FloridaRob]

After last weeks game against the Browns, any Packers fan counting this as a win is getting way ahead of themselves. The Packers won the 1st two games at home one of them on a short week. Dallas is going to be loaded for bear on Sunday and will come out like their hair is on fire. It is going to be a tough game and the winner will probably come down to the final minute. Any time one team is heavily favored with the underdog given no chance you know the underdog is going to play their best game of the year. No way I am counting Dallas out- Signed a long time Packers fan.

 

[Vtwin]

The Jets are going to see us as their get right game next week.

If Love doesn’t want to get labeled as the new Dak he better get his **** in gear.

Packer fans don't play around about QB play!!

Don't forget laserdiscs where you had to flip the disc midway through the movie!

This is the one phrase posted by the OP that really sums up the State of the Union here.......they get us.
